Internet

Benchmarking Partners is a Cambridge, Massachusetts based software and strategy firm founded in 1994. Benchmarking is helping to launch a knowledge-based social network that anyone can edit and grow for community, content, collaboration, and commerce. The knowledge-based social network lets you add to a combination of Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, Ushahidi, blogs, news, games, public or private groups, and other apps. This new platform brings people together around what interests them topically and locally. The system is user-led, encourages open source content, and is easy to use because it adopts Wikipedia's familiar look and feel.
The system will be rolled out globally for use across all topics (sports, politics, business, arts and entertainment, environment, energy, food, health, finance, religions, science, travel, disaster management/911 integration, etc.).
The knowledge-based social network is an international effort. In the U.S., the system's roll-out schedule will be timed along with the 2012 Presidential Primaries which focus attention on even the smallest communities in every state. This non-partisan system will be pioneered in New Hampshire, which holds the first U.S. Primary and has a strong "Live Free or Die" grassroots tradition.
